Japanese term or phrase: シルクナチュラルローン
In the context of a product description
Picture shows a green silk blouse
What does the ナチュラルローン part refer to though?
A Google search comes up with plenty of results but they don't really clarify what it is...

Thanks!

natural lawn


Explanation:
The fabric is probably 'lawn' which is usually made from cotton or linen. There is constant mention of its silky finish in most references. If context allows could this be something like 'natural silky lawn?' (Albeit, the 'natural is redundant because the fabric is natural to begin with. )

Example sentence(s):
  • Lawn made from long-staple cotton gives a silky feel...

agree  Mika Regan: I think "Silk Cotton Mixed Lawn" is better than "Natural Silk Lawn", since this looks like a mixed fabric, not silk 100%.

silky, all-natural lawn


Explanation:
"naturally silky lawn" would also be alright. as this is a product description, it is most important to rework the words into a formula most natural to english speakers, presenting the data in an attractive form. no need for a one-to-one as long as all the inherent meaning is preserved.
